Haulmark / Wells Cargo recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Universal trailer corporation (utc) is recalling one model year 2012 haulmark and one model year 2012 wells cargo trailer equipped with a dexter axle electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump. This pump may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in this pump which can render the unit inoperable.
What could happen
The e/h brake actuator provides braking power to the trailer brakes. Failure of the actuator can result in the loss of braking effort by the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Utc will notify owners, and dexter axle dealers will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps, free of charge. Owners may contact universal trailer corporation at 1-574-264-9661.
